Content Writer

What You'll Do

• Write World-Class Spiritual Content: Craft theologically grounded, narratively driven meditations, reflections, and guided prayers that help lead our users into a transformative encounter with God.
• Drive Production: Own the creative direction of projects end-to-end — from ideation and talent sourcing to recording sessions and final audio direction — ensuring every script translates beautifully from page to recording.
• Build Creative Partnerships: Identify and cultivate relationships with external collaborators whose voices and perspectives can deepen our content and expand what's possible on the platform.
• Shape Content Strategy: Pitch ideas for new series, seasonal content, and creative formats that resonate with Hallow's diverse and growing audience.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with marketing, product, and design to communicate each piece's core promise and guide how we bring it to our users.

What You'll Love

• Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Every day we get amazing stories and get the pleasure of working on something that impacts lives. One of my favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.”
• Ownership: Take creative responsibility for building prayer experiences that can change peoples’ lives.
• Growth: From day 1, you'll be a part of the startup journey.  You’ll be part of a fast-growing team shaping Hallow’s library of content, helping it reach our users worldwide. 
• Flexibility: HQ will be in Chicago with the full team and would love to have everyone there. That being said, we're super flexible with location / hours; we don't care when or where you work, just that it gets done.
• Comp: We will pay competitive market rates in terms of equity, cash, & benefits.

What We're Looking For

• Passion: First & foremost, we’re looking for someone excited about our mission to help people pray. It makes it a lot more fun :)
• Exceptional Writing Craft: You write with clarity, beauty, and depth. You tell stories well. You understand pacing, voice, and how to move a reader, and you've done it professionally.
• Theological & Media Fluency: You're grounded in Catholic and broader Christian theology, scripture, and spiritual tradition. You know the difference between devotional and catechetical writing, and you can do both. You have a finger on the pulse of what people are watching, reading, and talking about, bringing that cultural awareness to content that connects faith to everyday life.
• Collaborative & Coachable: You welcome feedback, iterate quickly, and work well with editors and teammates.
• Experience: A degree in theology, English, creative writing, or a related field, plus at least 3 years of professional writing experience and a portfolio that demonstrates spiritual depth and narrative craft.
• Willing to Travel: While the role is remote-first, candidates must be willing to travel for content production at least 1-2 times per quarter and for in-person team meetings at least twice a year.
